Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led March 20, 1913. Serial No. 755,744.

To all whom 'it may concern:

the production of a discharge spout which is circumferential flange, the face thereof loe-v ing engaged bythe closure-plunger for presoy provided at its lower end with a ,crimped portion constituting an inwardly extending venting dampness from entering into the interior of the casing.v

- A still further object of the invention is the production of a vspring housing which is adapted to contain the spring that engages 4the plunger, whereby the powder will be prevented from packing around the spring and rendering the same less eicient- With these and other objects in view, this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawing: Figure 1 is' a vertical section ofthe shaving brush. Fig. 2 is a vertical section of the casing.

Fig. 3 is 'a vertical section of the bristle containing body. Fig. 4 is a section taken on the line 4-4 of Fig.l2looking in direction of the arrow. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the closure-plunger head. Fig. 6 is a vertical section of a modied form of a plunger head.

Referring to the accompanying drawing by numerals, it will be seen that the device comprises a hollow cylindrical casing 1 having at its lower portion the threads 2. This casing 1 is provided at its upper end with a cover 3 which is formed integrally therewith, this cover being provided with a collar 4, the collar 4 being provided with a depending flange 6 having a depending hollow housing 5,l the lower end ofthe housing 5 being provided with a bottom 7'in which there is formed an aperture 8.

The bristle containing-body vis Iprovided with a pocket portion 9 which is crowded lin upon the bristles 10 from the position illustrated in dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 3. This.

pocket portion 9 is provided at its upper portion wlth a circumferential'rib 11 which 1s formed adjacentthe threaded portion 12. flhe threaded portion 12 is provided with an integral bowl 1-3 having at its lower portion the discharge spout 14, this discharge spout 14 extending below the pocket-portion 9 and yis provided at its lower end with a crimped p ortion constituting an'inwardly extendingl circumferential flange 15. By placing the' bristles around the spout 14 and by4 crimping the pocket-portion 9 upon the bristles, they will beheld securely in engagement with thev lower portion of the brush. After the bristle containing member has been formed", as described, it isscrewed in engagement with the casing 1 by means of the threadsA 2 and threads 1.2.

A plunger vrod 16 is passed through the housing 5 and the aperture 8, this plunger. rod 16 being provided at its lower end wlth- -the enlarged head 17 which is ada ted `toslide within the discharge spout 14 a d ,restupon theiiange 15 for forming a' tight closure. By referring to the drawing it will be seen that the head 17 'engages the inner face of the crimpedportion of the spout forming the flange, the crimped' portion or ange constituting a capV Istructure lfor the outer end of the plunger head, and in this manner prevent any moisture from entering into the.

casing 1 and caking the powder., This plunger rod 16 is also provided with a bearing collar '18 which is positioned within the housin 5.. A coiled spring 19 is positioned around the plunger rod 16 and within thehousing v5 and bears at its lower end portion upon the collar' 18 for normally holding thehead' 17' upon the circumferential flange 15 for forming a tight closure for the spout 14 This spring is held within the housing 5 by means of the cap 2() which is provided with' the threaded portion 21which is adapted to engage the Bange 6. The upper portion of the plunger .rod 16 is provided with a lifting handle 22 whereby' the head 17 may be moved from the discharge spout 14 when it los,

is desired to force the powder from the im -terior of the casing 1.

The plunger head, disclosed in Fig.4 6, is

used in combination with thev above de .no j

CIR

scribed brush andis adapted tc work withm the discharge spout 14. This plunger head `is provided with a body portion 23 which engages the lower portion el, the plunger-rod 16 and is provided at its llower por-4 tion with the. flaredportion 24 which is adapted to engage the side portions of the discharge spout 14 .for scraping tlv-e powder therefrom and Jforcing it from the interior of the spout. 4 I

When thisdevice is used, thehristle containin Amember may be removed at which.

time t e powder-may be placed withinthe casing 1,. The bristle containing .member is then l threaded into engagement-with the casing 1 at which time the head' 17 will .rest upon the inner :face of the dange 15.

The brush will then assumetheposition, as

charge spout'14 and drive the powder contained therein from the spout. The head 17 nally rests upon the circumferential ange ing.

y15d-and in this manner forms a tight closure for the discharge spout. The bristles may then he wetv without danger of the moisture passing around the lower portion of the discharge spout and entering the casing, as

the force of the spring 19 will hold-the head lirmly in engagement with the inner face of the circumferential ange 15.

From. the lforegoing description, it will 'be seen that a simple and eilicient shaving brush has been produced which willforce a quantity of powder upon the bristles and which is -provided with a Hange portion which will prevent any moisture from entering into the interior 'of the casing, and 'in this manner will keep thepowder contained within the .casing in a suitable condition for easilydischarging the same.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new, is

1. A shaving brush comprising va casing, said casing' providedY at its lower portion with a discharge spout, said casing also provided with bristles positioned about said discharge spout, said discharge spout provided at its lower portion with aninwardly extending flange, and a closure-plunger po- -sitioned within said casing and being adapted to engage the inner face of said Hangs, thereby closing said spout, whereby moist- Vu re'willbe prevented from entering the cas- 2. A" shavingbrush comprising a casing,

a bristle-containing member carried by the i noeaoeo lower portion of said casing, said containingmember provided with a pocket-portion, bristles carried by said pocket-portion, a
